The Jewish Community Relations Council of the Jewish Federation of Raleigh-Cary is inviting you to a special briefing on the war in Ukraine provided by Elana Broitman, JFNA’s Senior Vice President for Public Affairs. The briefing will be held on Thursday, March 10th at 8pm on Zoom.
Broitman and her family were among the tens of thousands of Jews who fled the Soviet Union in the 70’s and 80’s to escape antisemitism. Initially settling in Pennsylvania and eventually spending her formative years in Texas, she became engaged in Jewish communal life thanks to the local JCC, Jewish summer camp, and BBYO.
Among other things, Broitman has staffed the U.S. House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, served as a leading senator’s Senior Advisor for National Security, and as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense and USAID Senior Rule of Law Advisor. She has also spent years as a lay and professional leader in the Jewish community. At UJA-Federation of New York, she was Senior Vice President, managing government relations and helping to strengthen communal organizations.
